Run by the River 5K Run and Mile Walk

Saturday, May 21, 2016 Run by the River 5K Run and Mile Walk

ABOUT THE EVENT

Enjoy a fresh spring morning on the Schuylkill River Trail. Try our great out and back course (flat and fast!) and set a personal best on a paved surface. If you’re not into running, you can participate in our 1 mile fun walk and enjoy a beautiful day.

All proceeds benefit the Good Samaritan Shelter — a ministry providing shelter and hope to people experiencing homelessness in Chester and Lancaster Counties.

Awards and gift certificates will be presented to the first place male and female finishers, as well as to the top 3 finishers (male and female) in the following age groups: 18 & Under, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+.

The top two teams will receive prizes. We will also hold a raffle after the race–stay tuned to see what items will be included.

There is a $30 entry fee for teenagers and adults, $15 for children 12 and under. Anyone registered by May 10th will receive a free tech shirt. A limited number of shirts will be available to later registrants. When you choose a shirt size, please note that we will have separate men’s and women’s shirts, so we will assume that if you are a woman ordering a small shirt, that you want a women’s small.

New this year — join us after the race at the Great American Pub in Phoenixville for some special deals for our walkers and runners, and stick around for the Dogwood Festival parade!
